Ham Radio And Facebook



  

Sorry I have not been around lately. I have been busy with things. I did not get called to go back to my previous job working as a Computer Hardware Technician. They were not calling me back when the covid pandemic slowed down. They only called me when they were short of help. I had contact with an individual inside the company, so I knew everything that that was said and was going on.

 My contact asked me if they had called me and I said no. I was told that management was telling the employees that they spoke to me and I said I was not going back. I had not spoke to them since they let us all go. Well they called me and left a message on the answering machine. They wanted me to come in so they could speak to me. I did not speak to them or go in.

 They were only offering me what unemployment pays, which is 60% of my normal wage. They were only paying me about $15 an hour. I had worked there for 17 years and never had a raise or cost of living increase. Other technicians starting out were getting paid $25 per hour or more. I found out that everyone else was making their normal wage, so why me ?

 Well they were doing very little to prevent the covid-19. There were a number of other things that were illegal according to the Microsoft License Agreement. I was tired of being lied to and talked down to. You see they bought the previous company I worked for and I was part of the package deal. I worked 26 years as a Computer Hardware Technician and 11 Years before that as an Electronic Technician. I have my AAS Degree In Electrical Engineering- Master Electronics. I explained all this to unemployment and never had a problem.

 I decided to stay on unemployment until it ran out and then decided to early retire since I was heading to 63 years old. I could not see going back to work for them at about $7 per hour. That is what I made years ago working for the school district when I was a kid. 

 Okay now back to the subject at hand. I had a facebook account with a number of pages for Ham Radio and other subjects. I am into affiliate marketing for Amazon and Ebay. I have sold a few things over the years. My facebook page got badly hacked and I had to delete it, so I am starting over. Here are some links to some of my new facebook pages.
